I began with a maximus in Feb 07. Initial results were very encouraging, with precum every session and once a drop of cum appeared on the tip of my penis. Then a couple of months of mostly dud sessions. Lately I have moved ahead with involuntary contractions now every session (last 6), sometimes very strong. The maximus has begun moving on its own and I can feel a lot going on around the prostrate. The trick for me seemed to be better lube and deep breathing.

A question. What is the relationship of precum and ejaculate to the mini O and super O. In my case sometimes there is precum with these mini O's but mostly there is not. I was under the impression that milking the prostate products precum. So if there is none does that mean I am not hitting the right spot?. I should add I am 68 yrs old and use Viagra sparingly for regular sex but not with the Maximus. Are some of you seniors using Viagra with the Aneros? I will give the vitamin V a try next session.

Well, it seems that my comments were lost for good, so I'll recap what I said the first time around.

With respect to precum this fluid is generated by the Cowper gland, not the prostate. Although it is possible to express or milk a certain amount of fluid from the prostate by vigorous massage, this is not what one would normally associate with precum. In such case you would likely see Cowper's fluid mixed with prostate fluid. Cowper's fluid by itself, is clear, thin, and sticky.....precum.

With respect to the relationship between the Super O, mini-O and precum. There really isn't one. There are some guys who generate buckets of the stuff while others have next to none of it. Precum can be produced by anal/ rectal massage (as in that from the Aneros or another device or digital manipulation), and sexual excitement. Really the only thing that the presence of precum signifies is the evidence of a high level of arousal.....in a guy that produces precum! There are many guys that can be aroused to the max and not produce a drop.
